https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ It's been a fine weekend for me, and thankfully, since we have a Monday as a holiday only for the USA, there is extra fun upcoming! If you have not seen my Ferzu, I highly recommend seeing my status of what I did today: https://www.ferzu.com/Member/Details/excelsior30
In the meantime, as I got to have the opportunity to see events, I did get to know the Anthromorphic Arts & Entertainment (AAE) Organization after some years of absence. Yes, there were some changes, but they were nearly the same. Over at this, they did have a good year last year, and soon they will look to make the next con better, and to utilize what profits to make do for 2025. Of course, it will be tax season, so they would need money to pay despite that the are 501©(3) organization to qualify as nonprofit. Well, you will ask about the con store I volunteered in-that is separate so they will still be that nonprofit.
To speak of such, I did volunteer for 3.5 hours and I did get 3.5 hours. The tier 3 level is supposed to be 16 hours, but with these, I just needed 2.5, but I got 17- this means, I got the swag! So I got the con shirt, the small shoulder bag that looks like a backpack, and the duffel bag!! YAY!!! If it weren't for
bellophrawg finding me on Ferzu when I announced that I'd like to volunteer, this would never have happened, and well, after seeing the panels, they were not new, and I should try something else for a change. I will also thank red panda Mippt ( https://twitter.com/MipptActual ) for being lead and appreciating my help and putting order to the con store. The staff there was friendly and professional. Yeah, if it were that I was not lucky in doing 2 hours of Elevator Con and 1 for Fursuit Headless Lounge, I would not have gotten to my goal, and I would have sacrificed my time attending FC Unleashed! Glad I did the extracurriculars-worthwhile. Also, I did help a little bit in closing and tear down before going to FC-U!, however because of something that went on in Night Market, I have a bonus-a LED Name Badge! That will be great to utilize for ANYTHING in and out of con! Last of all that is a bonus, despite that the con did not happen because of two COVID strains, I got the pin for FC 2022 (2023) from HR for my service! OHHH, WHAT GREAT THINGS I GOT-THEY SEEM TO BE BLESSINGS!!
Before I did go to the con store and also FC-U! I did go to the filing for taxes in the USA. Now I did learn one important thing, if you are putting sales tax on arts, it should be done on TANGIBLE ARTS ONLY, DO NOT PUT IT ON DIGITAL-IT IS NOT TAXABLE! It was straightforward-but nothing new. The panel was from an engineering background-just a guy he had said! () Anyhow, I did aid in having to answer other questions that the other audience members bring up, and it went well.
For FC-U!, well, it wasn't too entertaining-nearly everyone was singing; only 2 did skits. I could think I might try to be in the talent show, and see if I can be perhaps a winner. The winner this year for singing a song from Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was one unsuited named Blue. The winners got candy and gift cards. But most importantly, I should thank deeply
AwesomeSprout for filling in as the host for FC-U! as the usual host unfortunately had emergency surgery and can't recover fully in time. We attendees send our love to Sprout's friend and to her for stepping in when needed-thank you!
After, I saw rocker Shibae for nearly 40 minutes, and then I danced. To stick on to dancing, well, the volunteering did tire me out, and yes, I'm 40, but I think I need more sleep to last longer. I got fursuit pics here and there at the dance, and have my ear protection as well. However, if I were to do dancing again, I will have a power drink... It is weird, usually the dances end at 2AM, but this year other than Thursday, they end at 1. Well, hope it is temporary.
The one thing I will want to say while I was staff, I was fed, and I apprecieate the volunteer cooks for keeping us running EVERY DAY-breakfast and dinner! They won't do MLK Day, but this was something to bless those ones for having us get the care we need and even our health that we need. Bravo to them! *I clap.*
And so, this is the unoffical end of FC, but there are more panels up for Monday. However, for 2025, when I saw the dates, it is January 15-19. It is preliminary, but I was a little shocked to see that it will not go to 20 next year! I hope they did not really mean it, despite that the Monday session is light, I like it, and I can get some rest in at con and talk to the remaining attendees easier. Hopefully they will change it to 20 as one who acted out the planned theme did not know if really, it will end at 19, nor know the reason why. We'll see.
In the meantime for the 2025 con, the theme is "Animal Business." Let us see what that will be, and as I did study a business-related subject for Master's, this can be in my wheelhouse to enjoy! So hope you will be able to come and see this...
Last of all, the numbers. For the charity that gets the donations for the homeless area in San Jose, the attendees raised at least $23,238! There will be more coming for Monday, so here's hoping that they could get $25000... Also, there was a long Fursuit Parade, and it can be 968 fursuiters in there, but that can change to put the official number. And I did hear that this year's total attendance number will eclipse last year's 5388-BUT BY HOW MUCH?! I have been looking everywhere, but no number! I saw these sites for such numbers: https://furryconattendance.com/ , https://coyo.tl/map , but no luck! I don't regret leaving X/Twitter, but I hope to find out sooner than later.
Anyway, as I became an acquaintance to Erizana Ammut who was vice chair, now becoming chair for next year, let's see how FC will be run-hope Monday will still be on.
So this ends FC unofficially-yes, there are places that DO NOT revere Martin Luther King Jr. and put it as a holiday (Maybe Canada, but not likely.), so Monday would primarily be for West Coast US furs to attend, but there can be some East Coast US furs too-it depends on the job.
So OK, that will end here. It was a nice end to the weekend proper of FC, and once I do have my new fursuit head of Cory, I will show off my swag I got for volunteering-devoted picture for all of the items I got!
So if you are still here in San Jose, hope to see you once more for Dead Dog! Let's hug, console- prevent PCD, prevent Con Crud, and keep in touch for the remaining time we have. GOOD NIGHT!
